Our annual Hispanic Heritage Month celebration event was a powerful celebration of family, unity, and resilience—values that not only define the diverse Hispanic experience but resonate with many cultures. Our facilitator, Aili Liu, moderated a lively discussion with our incredible panelists: Juan Almonte, Michael Arredondo, Luis Alonzo, and Adriana Gonzalez. They shared personal stories of how these themes have shaped their lives and careers, reminding us of the strength we draw from our families, the power of coming together as a community, and the resilience needed to overcome life’s challenges. We were honored to have Jennifer Pichardo from the Smithsonian Museum of the American Latino as our special guest speaker. She took us on a virtual tour around the museum, showcasing impactful exhibits highlighting the Latino community's contributions, stories, and cultural influence throughout American history. A huge thank you to our panelists for sharing their insights and experiences. Let’s carry forward what we’ve learned and continue to foster understanding, celebrate diversity, and uplift one another in all we do. #HispanicHeritageMonth #Unity #Resilience #Family #Diversity #Inclusion #DEI #Leadership

Panda’s commitment to people development is evident in my own career journey. I was born in The Philippines and moved to the United States in 2017 to pursue a Culinary Internship Program. Then in October 2020, I joined Panda as a Shift Leader, and just four months later, I was promoted to Assistant Manager. Two months following, I had the incredible opportunity to open a brand-new store in Ohio. Panda provided structure and comprehensive training that became instrumental in my growth and success within the company. After the successful opening of the new store in Ohio, I moved to a high-volume location in 2022. I had the opportunity to continue to grow my leadership experience, which lead to my promotion to General Manager. In my first year, I really focused on proper hiring, staffing and long-term retention. I participated in various classes offered by the University of Panda, in addition to well-respected courses such as Landmark, Tony Robbins, and John Maxwell’s leadership training. After building my team and strengthening the work environment, my team really turned the business around by providing exceptional guest experiences. This was reflected on our guest survey results where we had the highest Year-Over-Year increase in the region with a 15% improvement! The focus on engagement and exceptional guest experiences also increased our Same-Store Sales (SSS%). This was also the highest Year-Over-Year increase in the region. These improvements were a team effort and result of building a team that was aligned with achieving the key business metrics. The team was as excited as I was when we improved our Key Performance Indicator (KPI) store ranking from 164 in 2022 to 33 in 2023. Fast forward to 2023, I took on the role of Training Leader, mentoring and training different managers. During the Panda Leaders Conference, I was recognized as a Super High Achiever in the Guest and Financials Category for my hard work and dedication. Investing in my own growth allowed me to better support and develop my team, which in turn positively impacted our guests and drove significant financial growth in my store. This journey of personal and career growth within Panda also enabled me to achieve financial independence. This year, I became a homeowner, moving into a brand-new home—something I never imagined I could accomplish without Panda. I am deeply grateful to Andrew and Peggy for creating a place where we’re all inspired to grow and support each other, becoming the best versions of ourselves both personally and professionally. #PandaProud #PandaCareer #CareerOpening 👉 Click here to apply or refer to Panda: www.pandacareers.com *The above or below Story is from a real associate and shares their personal experience.
